About the artists:
Brooklyn’s Public Speaking is the soulful noise project of sound artist and songwriter Jason Anthony Harris. Live, he uses voice, found objects, radio, synth, and tape recorder, poring over pedals to loop, warp and augment these sources.
Taylor Conrad is an experimental musician from Portsmouth, Ohio. Mainly playing guitar and keys, he frequently collaborates with local musicians Troy Kunkler (percussion) and Caleb Miller (saxophone).
Troy began playing percussion in middle school band. He went on to study music at Ohio University, where he studied classical percussion with Roger Braun and Joseph VanHassel and drum set with Guy Remonko. In college, Troy participated in as many ensembles as possible and was known for borrowing large stacks of scores from the library to read through. Since college, Troy has played, toured, and recorded with a variety of bands and ensembles on drum set, bass, and vibraphone. Some past projects include: Radarhill (https://radarhill.bandcamp.com/), Mosses (https://mosses.bandcamp.com/), and a rock opera written by local composer Nick Weckman about worms taking over the planet entitled “Worms Rise Up” (https://wormsriseup.bandcamp.com/album/worms-rise-up). Currently, Troy plays drums with October Ember (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzAdc08FSOI), The Francis Bacon Band (https://francisbaconband.bandcamp.com/), guitarist Mike Sopko (https://www.mikesopko.com/music), bass with Marvin The Robot (https://marvintherobot.bandcamp.com/), and drums and vibraphone as a soloist, bandleader and freelancer.
